TAEKWONDO SET TO LAUNCH ASIAN GAMES CAMPAIGN

Jordan’s top Taekwondo fighters are all in action this week at the 18th Asian Games, with Juliana Al Sadeq launching Jordan’s campaign on Monday.

She is competing in the -67kg category and will meet Sri Lanka’s Nisana Sandmali in her opening fight.

Al Sadeq is in super form, winning bronze at the Moscow World Grand Prix last week.

She will be followed on Monday by Zaid Mustafa who meets Kazakhstan’s Yldos in his opening fight for the -58kg competition.

This event will be great preparation for Ziad who is looking ahead to the Youth Olympics later this year. On Tuesday, Rama Abu Al Rub will compete, while Hamzeh Qattan and Saleh Al Sharabati will fight on Wednesday and Ahmad Abu Ghaush on Thursday.
